Titan-izing the Target Module V.B. Graves 16 Dec 2005

O AK R IDGE N ATIONAL L ABORATORY U. S. D EPARTMENT OF E NERGY Hg Target Module Issues 16 Dec 2005 Discussion  Issue: welding Ti6Al4V to SS316 is not a standard fabrication practice -> could increase Hg system fabrication cost  Solution 1: add intermediate plate of Vanadium between all Ti/SS interfaces  Solution 2: eliminate Ti/SS interfaces by using Ti alloy for most of the target module  Let's look at each window separately

O AK R IDGE N ATIONAL L ABORATORY U. S. D EPARTMENT OF E NERGY Hg Target Module Issues 16 Dec 2005 Upstream Secondary Window ActionIssue/Comment Add vanadium flange Uses small amt of window space Make secondary containment out of titanium Material & fabrication costs might increase

O AK R IDGE N ATIONAL L ABORATORY U. S. D EPARTMENT OF E NERGY Hg Target Module Issues 16 Dec 2005 Upstream Primary Window ActionIssue/Comment Add vanadium flange to beam window Space constraints between beam tube & nozzle Make nozzle flange out of titanium Beam window integrated into flange – no welding needed. Nozzle and Hg supply components must also be titanium.

D EPARTMENT OF E NERGY Hg Target Module Issues 16 Dec 2005 Jet Deflector ActionIssue/Comment Add vanadium flange to edges of deflector None Make primary containment out of titanium Simplifies primary containment fabrication, but perhaps at increased cost Exit funnelShould be of same material as primary containment

O AK R IDGE N ATIONAL L ABORATORY U. S. D EPARTMENT OF E NERGY Hg Target Module Issues 16 Dec 2005 Downstream Primary Window ActionIssue/Comment Add vanadium flange to edges of window Space constraint with funnel Make primary containment out of titanium Mill window into end flange rather than weld

D EPARTMENT OF E NERGY Hg Target Module Issues 16 Dec 2005 Downstream Secondary Window ActionIssue/Comment Add vanadium flange to edges of window None known Mechanically attach window to secondary containment with gasket Would increase contacting window flange diameter

O AK R IDGE N ATIONAL L ABORATORY U. S. D EPARTMENT OF E NERGY Hg Target Module Issues 16 Dec 2005 Mechanical Attachment to Flex Hoses ActionIssue/Comment Titanium tubing requires titanium ferrule (grey end piece) Unknown if titanium sanitary fittings are available and what their pressure ratings would be. Probably have to machine our own. Exit funnel butt welded to flange Must be same material or use compatible intermediate sheet. Funnel will have to be custom machined.

O AK R IDGE N ATIONAL L ABORATORY U. S. D EPARTMENT OF E NERGY Hg Target Module Issues 16 Dec 2005 Other Considerations From Timet Design/Fab Handbook  Link  Titanium available in various "grades"  Ti6Al4V ASTM Grade 5, UNS R56400, Yield strength 950 MPa (138ksi)  Ti6Al4V may not be available in tubing  ASTM Ti Grade 2, Yield strength 430 MPa (62.4ksi)  Internal working pressure for 1" OD tubing from Ti Grade 2  Wall=0.035, pressure=687psi  Wall=0.049, pressure=971psi  Wall=0.065, pressure=1304psi <- what we may need  Wall=0.083, pressure=1688psi  1" tubing has only 2" bend radius for 0.065" wall  May have to incorporate elbows into Hg supply tube

O AK R IDGE N ATIONAL L ABORATORY U. S. D EPARTMENT OF E NERGY Hg Target Module Issues 16 Dec 2005 Conclusions  Desire that all components between the flex hoses be fabricated from Ti6Al4V or unalloyed Ti  Tubing pressure ratings may be an issue  What alloys/ratings are available?  1" OD is maximum we can easily fit into module  Some off-the-shelf tubing components may have to be custom machined  Jet deflector fabrication simpler if the primary containment is titanium  Titan-izing entire module simplifies beam window fabrication / attachment  Probably simpler than using intermediate vanadium sheet  Cost may increase, but not by much  Need to talk with actual supplier to get real answers
